Brené Brown

I guess what I'm asking is would there be brain changes now?

Like, the reason why I'm asking this is kids today, college students today, in my experience, are like, nah, we're not doing that.

I'm not.

They're, they're.

There's some interesting intergenerational but not super great studies on our grandparents use more shame than our parents.

But is there over time a real physical and neurobiological cognitive response to maladaptive behavior?

I am not qualified to answer that question.

We should definitely phone a friend.

But is it an interesting question?

It's such an interesting question.

I'm pretty skeptical.

Are you?

I'm skeptical.

I just, I think the, you know, if you take one conclusion from social cognitive neuroscience as a, you know, as an outsider who just reads casually in this literature, neuroplasticity is my big takeaway.

And I think that, I think that our, our brains evolved to be highly adaptable.

And it's hard for me to imagine that there's a generational shift.

I guess to me, it seems more like a learned psychological response than an underlying neurological response.

But I'm outside of my expertise on that one.

So your guess is as good as mine.

I think it's probably psychosocial cultural.
